Abstract

We consider the problem of risk management in the framework of low latency trading. We suggest an efficient method of real-time analysis of massive data flow from the market. The result of the analysis is a new risk measure Dynamic VaR (DVaR) for risk management of low latency trading robots. The work of DVaR is illustrated on a test example and compared with Traditional VaR and ex-post measure commonly used in high frequency trading.
